While we’re all still waiting on SCS Software to confirm anything solid about an official Coaches DLC, TruckersMP just went ahead and gave ETS2 multiplayer its own passenger transport feature. On July 10, 2026, TruckersMP officially released the Heavy Vehicles Turkey Coach Bus, built in partnership with Heavy Vehicles Turkey — and this time it’s a fully integrated, no-mods-required system.

What’s Actually New Here

This isn’t the first time buses have shown up on TruckersMP servers. Some of you may remember DBus World, the third-party tool that let players run bus routes in multiplayer years ago. That project has since been discontinued. This release replaces it entirely with something built and maintained by TruckersMP itself.

The core additions:

• A dedicated coach bus model – high-quality exterior and a detailed interior, purpose-built for long-distance passenger runs.
• An official Bus Job Dispatcher – you create and accept passenger routes directly through TruckersMP’s own system, no external tool needed.
• Animated passengers – NPCs actually wait at bus stations and stops, walk over to your bus, and board one by one as your service starts.
• A performance/reward system – your payout and stats (punctuality, service quality) depend on how well you run the route.
• Automatic delivery – the bus downloads through the TruckersMP Launcher like any other update. No manual mod installs, no compatibility headaches.

How to Start Your First Route

TruckersMP kept the onboarding simple:

1. Open the Player Panel (Tab).
2. Select the bus icon.
3. Choose a route from the TruckersMP Bus Job Dispatcher.
4. Drive to the depot, pick up your passengers, and run the service.

Why This Matters More Than It Looks

TruckersMP had already teased this back in their “TruckersMP Introduces Coach Buses” post, where they were upfront that SCS is expected to launch a similar feature as an actual DLC eventually. Their stated position: they’re not trying to copy SCS’s future functionality, they just want to bring the multiplayer angle that only they can deliver — and importantly, none of this will require the eventual official DLC to use.

That’s the real story here. For years, passenger transport in ETS2 multiplayer meant installing DBus World and hoping it stayed compatible with whatever patch you were on. Now it’s a first-party feature — vehicle, dispatcher, passengers, routes, and rewards all built directly into TruckersMP, with zero setup friction.

If you’re burned out on freight jobs and want a change of pace while we all wait for SCS to say literally anything concrete about Coaches DLC, this is a genuinely solid stopgap. It won’t replace an eventual official DLC integration with the base game’s economy and career mode, but for multiplayer it’s already more polished than what we had before.
